  • When I import a png image of a sprite half of the sprite is missing in preview can somebody help with this?

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • I have been working on a project for a while now and for some reason now all my text is pixelated. How do I fix this! I have no addons just construct 3, text object and then pressing the preview button. It is quite depressing since text is a important part of the game if nobody can help with this I will probably just use my plan B idea but if somebody does help thanks in advance.

  • Hi, you can check out the PlayFab Master Collection if it fits your needs. Already 2 years in its development to work with Construct 3 and Construct 2.

    It handles everything for you, account management, player management and other online backend features.

    Oh wow thank you!

  • I built a couple of games with online login/accounts and if you don't have much experience with this prepare yourself for some significant headache.

    Fortunately the backend-as-a-service solutions normally handle various aspects of authentication security for you.

    Yes there are multiple services (playfab, firebase); the easiest I found is Parse Server that you can deploy e.g. on back4app - but easiest by no means means easy. You'd have to interface with it using C3's JavaScript code.

    That said, for a recent project (not in C3 though) I got tired of managing user logic and rolled back to Apple Game Center/Google Play for leaderboards etc; and local storage for any data. Way simpler and more manageable. Additionally if you plan on releasing to the Appstore you need to account for other stuff, like app rejection based on required login.

    All in all I'd stay clear of this unless really needed.

    Ok. Though I will need to add it at some point

  • Technically yes in that you would be able to make a multiplayer game where others can see your user name, but definitely no to the application you're implying. The particular solution I mentioned would be local to each device only, so there would be no shared database of usernames and passwords across the internet.

    If you want to make an online game, you'll need a server or other third party service/backend database to store and authenticate usernames and passwords, which may be beyond the scope of the average user on these forums. You have a lot of options out there, but I'd recommend using something like the google play game services or the facebook plugin rather than trying to build your own.

    Oh my game is for google play and I just realised I will probably (if I can) link there account to their google play account instead of making a complex system.

  • The simplest system would be local, using the localstorage plugin.

    The username would be the key, and the password would be the value. Upon a user entering their username and password, you would check if that key/username exists. If it does, check if the value/password matches, then proceed or stop. If the key/username does not exist, write it to localstorage.

    Ok, would this work in an online game so you can log into your account and other players can see your username? (above your sprite)

  • I have no experience in this, I don't know how to code and I wanted to know if I can make a simple login system with entering a password or username and a simple start up system if you don't have an account with setting up a password and username. I am hoping to do this only using constructs events and action system but if that is not possible I would like to know the simplest way out of all possible answers for somebody with no coding experience (except smallbasic but I don't think that will be useful)

  • I have this line of code. On object clicked system go to layout level select. It does not work. Help.

  • Oh and has to be top down

  • I cant draw so i would like an artist but I am cant pay you so think of it as a hobby. All i need is a vaccum cleaner. Preferably pixel art but any vacuum cleaner art will be fine. If you want to help me though you will have to draw the vaccum and the cleaner in two different parts. (The hose and the place where dirt is stored have to be twp different sprites and the hose has to be very long)

  • I can see all these new features and templates but for some reason they don't show for me!

  • All i need to know is how do i change the file extension to .hmtl because it is stuck on .cp3.

  • Ok so I am an 11 year old who wants to make games but I am wondering if i'm legally aloud to (I have parent/guardian permission). For example, if I buy the startup business license is it payed monthly or yearly? Also say i do buy it when can I cancel it (if I cant afford anymore) and even with parental support am i allowed?

    Please reply quick because my mum needs to know
